Members of political media on Tuesday mocked President Trump’s stern warning to North Korea against threatening the U.S., saying the language he used sounded more like a statement out of Pyongyang.
“North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States,” Trump said to reporters at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J. “They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.”
The reaction from left- and right-leaning media followed quickly afterwards.
No joke: I read Trump's statement on North Korea and thought it was a North Korean statement on Trump.

Reminder: the wonderful, thriving city of Seoul, capital of South Korea, is just 35 miles away from the border, within "fire and fury" range

North Korea has been testing intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) with the ability to reach mainland U.S., and earlier Tuesday reports emerged that North Korea has successfully miniaturized a nuclear warhead to mount on such missiles.

A lot of innocent people will die, but hey, Trump’s already massive ego will be enlarged and his cult will cheer…until they and those precious to them are the ones who perish as the result of Trump’s massive ego.
It’s like crazy man ping pong.
